Shortly after the release of Topiary, the Albany quartet Jouska took a tour that brought them to Christmas Island, a Houstonian house venue known for its amiable tenants and proprietors Izabella and Jonathan. In the warm light of the cozy living room, Doug Dulgarian belted an earthshaking performance a few steps to the right of a […]

We caught up with the lovely Jordan White AKA Phaedra’s Love to chat about mental health, DIY and his new EP Let Me Think This Way. Mental health is a large theme of Let Me Think This Way and you also included a zine on mental health with the EP, why do you think it’s […]

We caught up with Exeter’s excellent Young Adventurers ahead of the release of their EP ‘Short Sighted’, out on cassette tape via Circle House Records on Friday 21st October… What can we expect from the new EP? How does it differ from the ‘Dentures Demo’? Catherine: I think it’s much more melodic and a bit more sure […]

Ducking Punches released Fizzy Brain a few months back now, and we sat down and had a chat with vocalist/guitarist Dan Allen about their decision to crowdfund the record, the importance of discussing mental health openly, and their future plans. Congratulations on funding the new record, and hitting almost double the target! What made you decide […]

Alexei is busy. Johnny Foreigner are getting ready for a new release. Yr Poetry have just put out their first EP. And he passes the time by playing acoustic shows as Yr Friends. We were lucky enough to sit down and have a chat with him about all of the projects, and film a couple […]

Having recently released their first album for five years, Public Disorder: Act 1, it’s time for Seeing Your Scene to catch up with Leeds’ punk/ska/rave nutters China Shop Bull to reflect on their 2015. You recently did a 10 date UK tour… How did it go? We toured with a Czech ska band called Chaska and as it […]

The incredibly named, and sounding, melodic hardcore band, Wank for Peace, from Angers, France are calling it quits. We were lucky enough to put them on in April at JT Soar, and they played an amazing show. The band are playing one final EU tour throughout December, and two final shows in their hometown early […]

After a year out Better Weather have returned to the UK DIY scene to grace us with their music. A blend of indie/emo consisting of poetic lyricism performed harshly without withdrawal and the welcoming tone of a trumpet, which sits warmly atop their intertwining melodic bass and guitar riffs. Seeing Your Scene caught up with the […]

I was lucky enough to meet The Homeless Gospel Choir, aka Derek Zanetti, at an anti-fascist protest in Nottingham the night before his show at Rescue Rooms with Anti-Flag, Red City Radio and Trophy Eyes. He also played an in-store, and got the crowd immediately on side through just one song. We spoke afterwards about an […]

Arizona’s Lydia are used to change. They started out as a rocky emo band with their debut, This December; It’s One More and I’m Free which set them up perfectly for the follow-up: the cult classic, swelling winter record, Illuminate. In 2010, backing vocalist and keyboardist Mindy White, who now fronts States, decided to leave […]
